Communication subsystems for High Altitude Platforms (CHAPS)

Abstract (English)

This project is a follow-up of FEASANT (CTI 9301.1 ,2008-2010), that successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the concept of small, compact high-capacity antenna subsystems, specifically tailored for HAPS users and platforms and working in Ka-band. The objective of this project is to make final improvements on the retained design, to build real-life prototypes and to demonstrate the industrial validity of the concept, through an extensive campaign of test and measurements, mimicking a HAPS telecommunication link at a reduced scale.
